Seventeen of them w.T-< horn outside states where they now se(\.. as rhlor executives; and two of these 1 . were born outside the I'nited State, Those two aro Coventor John Mo-es of North Dakota, a native of Norway, and C.ovornor Julius Hell of WlsconHln. a native of Gormany. Tho governors of Kansas and Vermont were horn In Illinois-and the governor of Illinois was born In Indiana. To South Carolinians it may seem strange that more than one-third of Hie governors today aro not natives of tholr present states. All governors of South Carolina, except two. and those In tho pro secession times, have been native South Carolinians.?Tho State. WHO ARE MAKING SACRIFICES. When tho defense program was first launched, nearly a year ago. much was siid about tin1' necessity for personal sacrifice <?> ??*. ',art of ttH < l,izc,lfl> Now you do not. hear so much of this kind of talk About tho only class of i Itl/cns who have really sacrfleed anything at all are the young men In setvie Labor, working shorter hours and obtaining more pay than any other country, through organizations, is taking advantage of conditions and demanding more advantages. Does this show a spirit of sacrlflco? It certainly is a poor brand of patriotism. Stories coming out of cities where t amps and defense projects aro located toll about constantly Increasing rents for houses and rooms. This is evidence that owners of houses and rooms for rent are not thinking of making personal sacrifices. "The country seems to ho divided into many selfish groups, each seeking to get whatever It can for itself Coder these conditions, the spirit of self Hacrltlce and love for country cannot thrive Dorchester lOagle-Kecord.

Striving To Abate Smoke Nuisance I teed Sarratt. president of tho City j Uiuudry and Camden I>ry Cleaners, has addressed tho following communication entitled "An (>|h.mi I a* tier to the Mayor and People of Camden": "Your attention was cabled in a front-page editorial appearing in The Camden Chronicle on Friday. March I 21. to the "smoke nulsitncev in Cam-j den. The reference to the offending industry, located on Broad Street, In i the very heart of the business district' was thinly disguised. "The. operators of the City Laundry and Camden Dry Cleaners are the first! to admit that theirs , is one of tho offending smokestacks which helps to create an undesirable condition. The purpose of this writing is not to en-j gage The Camden Chronicle in a controversy about the smoke nuisance; it Is to put before the people of Camden the full facts. i "In Its statement that 'the attention nf the Mayor has been called to the nuisance, but he has so far been unable to get the nuisance abated' The Chronicle editorial Implied that the City laundry and Camden Dry (Mean-, its have bee ft indifferent, oven defiant, j in their attitude toward the smoke proidem here This is not the case. "Approximately one year ago a representative of the Mayor called the i laundry's attention, to the volume of! smoke which issued from its smoke- , stack, and asked if something could be done to abate it. At this time the laundry agreed to co-operate to the fullest. One week later I, as president of the company, called on the Mayor at liis office. Wo discussed the mater fully; and. speaking for tho laundry, I agreed that 1 would do all 1 could to stop the smoke. Immediately we added 24 feet to the lengtn of our smokestack. Wo Installed a boiler twice the size of tlie one we nad been using and switched from the use of bituminous coal to wood shavings us Iul'L isQon after that the laundry moved its quarters, and an additional 2b feet was added to the smokestack 7 A bout, a month ago a city official suggested that we install a screen in our smokestack. An order has been given for such a screen, and it Will be installed immediately upon its arrival. Within the last month our boiler has been examined, at our own request, by two experts on such problems. Last week our combustion chambi r was rebuilt. completely, and it is estimated : thai this will i educe the smoke ou'put ' by 1'.* per cent. "All of these measures have been j undertaken voluntarily by the City laundry and Camden Di v < n**??J They are not regarded - a final I solution, but we still are giving our! serioi: at'>-nr;?>ti to the problem Ft is our sincere desire that ,>u smoke. us well as that coming from other buildings in the uptown >, < - ion, can ; l>e e];minated We phni-n- our coopera'ion toward this goal " j CATTLE THIEVES IN TRUCKS ; A bill pending in the Illinois General Assembly reveals a serious crime development In rural disrri? ts.

But so fascinating are the colorful personalities or Scarlett O'Hara and Rhott Butler that they quite overshadowed two characters, who typify a whole generation in the old South. Gerald O'Hara and Ills wife were overtaken by the storm of destruction, chaos and slow, painful reconstruction too late In life to survive the stunning blow. They simply fado away and die without understanding how a new way of life could possibly be wrought out. The master of Tara became mentally a child, helpless to rebuild anything. No more intense pathos tugs at the heart than that which speaks from the broken old man's utter Inadequacy to meet the situation. There were many more overwhelmed even as Gerald O'Hara was with complete chaos in the industrial, financial and social arrangements throughout the defeated South, men no longer voung and capable of radical change in habits of mind and action could not make the necessary re-adjustments. They suffered nostalgia for a way of life that was "gone with the wind"?a grieving, heartsickness that paralyzed action. But they had sons and daughters, who took.up tlie tremendous task and carried on somehow until reorganization and progress were achieved'.?Spartanburg Journal. TWINS BORN TO KIN OF NOTED SIAMESE TWINS Mt. Airy. March 12?The second twin descendants of the Siamese Twins of world-wide fame were born yesterday in a farm house near White Plains, a tiny village near here. Dr. R. J.

Robert Bunker, is a grandson of one of the original twins, Chang and Kng. who. were buried in a churchyard at White Plains. The mother, whose condition the physician pronounced good, is a native of this section.
